Stonegrave is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. At the 2011 Census the population was less than 100 and so the details are included in the civil parish of Nunnington.[1] By 2015, North Yorkshire County Council estimated the population as 110.[2] It is situated in the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and 5 miles (8 km) south east of Helmsley[3] on the Helmsley to Malton road (the B1257).[4]

Stonegrave Minster. There was a church here in Anglo-Saxon times

The village is noted for its church, Stonegrave Minster which has its origins in the 8th century.[5] The tower is partly Anglo-Saxon, with the main body of the church rebuilt during the Norman period with locally quarried stone. The grade II* listed church was rebuilt in 1863.[6][7] It is part of a four-parish benefice, including the churches of Oswaldkirk, Stonegrave, Gilling and Ampleforth.[8] It is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Stengrif, with the land belonging to Ralph Pagenel.[9]

Notable people

Herbert Read, the art historian, poet, literary critic and philosopher, who was best known for numerous books on art, purchased the old rectory in the village in 1948.[10] Read died there in 1968. His modern art and sculpture collection alongside that of his wife's furniture were displayed at the grade II listed Stonegrave House in the village.[11][12]

Stonegrave is also the burial place of Robert Thornton, who was a scribe and manuscript compiler. Due to his efforts, many works of Middle English literature have been preserved.[13]
